Chapter 567 Patient Zero



It had been a day since the great battle over Egypt and the news continued to show details of the battle. The news that revealed interviews for many Pioneers and Planteds that wanted to surrender and avoid death was also shown. There were only a few Presiders remaining as the great wars and battles led by another alien who arrived earlier on earth.

The news itself finally shed light on all the chaos that was happening. The alien race was trying to take over and control the world. They had already infiltrated Earth's ranks, and the mysterious Progenitor, who the aliens called the Lost Primordial was secretly aiding Earth to defend itself.

Many soon followed and all over the world, people were appearing and would have proof of their connection.

The claims were all proven true. A massive ship had been detected behind Mars and was fleeing further out in the distance.

"So... that was... your mothership?" The reporter asked a prominent person who had created a large empire. It turned out, he was a Pioneer!

"We can't really call it our mothership. That massive ship that's nearly as big as the moon is only a ship that carried us here. But using it for war... is impossible. Even for my former leaders, the Presiders. It's a ship that belongs to a class of aliens that are five to ten times stronger than everything you've seen here." The Pioneer explained.

"Five... to ten times stronger? Stronger than this?!" The reporter asked and revealed many scenes of the battle in Egypt.

"...Yes. And that isn't the end. Above the Principals, are the Primes which are once again, five to ten times stronger than the Principals. And then, beyond them... the Primordial." The Pioneer explained.

"...What do you want?! What are you guys doing here on Earth?!"

"There were many reasons. My master, Presider Tiana claimed that they needed new land for those who are below Principal levels. To beings beyond them, they could easily create worlds and dimensions of their own just like what you've seen in the battle. The Hypersphere created a dream world. The other Presider who fought at Egypt commanded that large ship could shrink their ships at will... But us common men, are too weak for that." The Pioneer explained.

"So... it's mainly for you footmen?! Your planet is overpopulated?! Why can't you just settle on some planet, why Earth?"

WARP!

Suddenly, a figure appeared before them.

STAB!

The Pioneer was shocked and couldn't even react quick enough as he had already been stabbed by a man wearing a strange black skin-suit exoskeleton.

"Fake news. The reason why they are taking over Earth is to prepare a place for the survivors. The Aragarians are a race of warmongers and killers. The Lost Primordial hated it and tried to change the system. He fought against the Primordial and nearly won, had it not been for the cowardice cheats. He left and settled on Earth, which is the ancestral home of the Aragarians from long ago. War is coming into their world. The Prime Wars will happen and will deplete more than ninety percent of their population. Earth was a backup that the survivors could settle in. This war will be so great, so strong, that even the stronger ones who could create dimensions fear their future. As you have seen, the Presiders war even among themselves. There are those who call themselves 'Conquerors' for that is what their culture is. If Earth is to ally with them in cowardice, then Earth will also be a battleground."

WARP!

The person vanished once more as he teleported out.

The studio was in a panic at what they had witnessed.

All over the world, similar scenes appeared and all interviews with Pioneers and Planteds stopped. The governments of each country tried to capture them, but many of those they caught were killed.

But the news of aliens living among the earthlings brought fright. As the news rolled out, it was proven that there was life beyond earth.

An alien society with creatures that had almost the same biological framework, and a much-advanced society was present.

There was a strange silence on earth.

Almost all businesses closed and everyone was locked at home reading or watching the news about the Aragarians.

No matter where, no matter what region, or continent no crimes of any sort were being committed.

Almost all of the Earth was in shock.

Eagles Wings Ministry, headed by Calvin Luther Eagle broadcasted family secrets as they released what they claimed to be irrefutable proof of why this mysterious alien aided us.

Interviewing Lourca Oviili, the oldest Pioneer who was already on Earth since World War III told of the mysterious origins of the Aragarians.

The tale of Gilgamesh and the existence of God!

There was news springing out left and right. Nearly all countries quickly issued martial law but on that day, no crimes were ever reported as everyone took a day to watch the news and videos of the grand battle over the skies of Egypt.

"So being part of the Lost Primordial's army allows you to see access to things that not even Primes in your planet know?" Eagle asked.

"Yes. The Lost Primordial knew of their origin. We are the rebels who wanted to challenge God. Our techs are from Nimrod, the hero who built the Tower of Babel. Ask any of the Pioneers and Planteds on Earth. They will tell you, that the Aragarians are but the winners of another war. Before Aragarians, we were all called... Babelians! People of Babel! Right now, there are a few surviving Babelians hiding and biding their time. They too, will take part in the Prime Wars and try to reclaim their lost heritage."

"So the Bible is true?"

"The Lost Primordial think so. He was a very religious man and loved reading the Bible."

"Well, there you have it, folks!" Eagle laughed and then began a sermon.

As the world continued to process the shocking revelation, the many ships, and fortresses that were being built underground and underwater continued.

At long last, all the Underwater Cities have pledged allegiance to Seeker and the Unlocked army.

The ships of Zeraphine and Garenjazz used Dug Down Deep to bury themselves down the deepest level of the ocean floor. A massive fortress that was constantly growing had been established.

Deep inside the massive mothership that the Unlocked armies continued to create, Lynd sat down and watched the many repairs being made as he had a magnificent view of the massive structures that were being made.

He sat there in silence and an array of dishes of all sorts was at his side.

The doors opened and Seeker stepped inside.

"Lynd." Seeker greeted.

"The tests are a success. With the metal technology of Garenjazz and how Pheonix Everhiss was able to provide those Almetal, the power of my peak form, without Unity has been completed. It will follow the same description in the book of Ezekiel. I shall be like the four beasts. With wheels spinning within each other and can harness enough energy that could rival the sun. We just need to perfect the science, but Lennox says it should be done in two days." Lynd spoke quickly.

"You know I'm not here for that." Seeker answered.

"What are you here then? To cry with me? I already have a girlfriend, Zeek."

"First, I will apologize. You must have felt it. When I found out you were alive and your parents died, I was relieved. I'm sorry I felt that way."

"I took it out on Zeraphine. I nearly killed her. Let's call it even." Lynd answered.

"I wanted to talk about... how your parents died on that timeline."

Lynd froze as he heard those words.

"Why?"

"You know why. I'm the only one strong enough and brave enough to do this. But it has to happen, Lynd. We can't always hide behind the powers of concealing our emotions. We aren't machines. We overcome because we know what loss and pain are. You have to do that as well."

"...Somehow, I just think that you just want people to go through what you did."

"Eagle told me that I should do this. Jeremiah 6:14 speaks of superficial healing. Dressing a wound up, and saying peace, peace, when there is no peace. Lynd. This isn't natural. Not facing the emotions of this hinders you. We don't have time for you to lock your emotions and hinder your Path. We can't even practice Unity with you like this! Every second counts, Lynd! Presiders and a Principal are coming! Mourn now! For our future!"

"..." Lynd did not answer.

"Anyway, Old Man. Take over."

"...Coward. Throwing me to you like that..." The Adult sighed.

Lynd remained quiet.

"...You can send Greg if you want."

"Greg's an even bigger coward..." The Adult chuckled.

"...So... how did they fare in that life and this?"

"They defended the last Pangean city. And boy, did they do a surprisingly good job at it. It was one of those skirmishes that you'd think we'd finally have a chance at winning against the enemy. In that world, Harker won the bet and controlled many of Pangean forces. But he sided with the Aragarians. I figured him for a traitor, but now, I know he did it just to protect Alean."

"I won't kill Harker, Zeek. I understand Harker now and I already could calculate his fate. He must have died when the Unlocked drug was perfected."

"...He tortured your dad."

"Tortured?"

"One of the most gruesome forms of torture. A will-breaking experiment that would have driven a man insane."

"What do you mean?"

"The Dalisay fought against Harker's army and your parents were both amazing soldiers. Well, all our parents were. But your father was captured. And they tortured him. He wouldn't let up. He wouldn't reveal anything. Not even truth serum worked on your father. And so they did something to him. They transformed him into becoming something like a Programmed Slave."

"You mean, they altered his emotion, and what brought him joy and sadness?" Lynd's eyes darkened.

"Yes. He was full of depression and sadness as he lived for every second. An agonizing attack on his will as his very being was sad, angry, nauseated with hated the fact that he wouldn't give information about him. We can't imagine that. We're already at a point where we can freely control all our emotions. We won't ever know the utter pain that your father felt in that timeline."

"Are you trying to make me kill Harker?"

"I'm trying to make you drop this stupid emotional guard. As I said we don't have time. But the anger didn't work. So let me try gratitude. The Mikados and my parents helped each other to rescue him. Your mom led the team. When they saw him, his emotions... was calm. He had somehow overcome the emotions that he now had. His will overcame his being. He mastered it. It's like he mastered his sinful nature. It was amazing."

"Then I'm glad my dad didn't suffer much."

"He probably did. But the data that his brain scans showed were vital for Charles to perfect the drug. Do you know what Charles labeled him?"

"What do you mean? Label for what?" Lynd was confused.

"Labels referring to the Unlocking, of course! He labeled your dad as Patient Zero. The first person to ever show the signs of the Unlocking as recorded and medically studied."

Lynd trembled.

"Be it this timeline or the last. Your parents continue to save humanity."
